Explore Rome live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Trastevere is worth asking about: cobbled streets across the Tiber, known for trattorias and nightlife.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

Good to know about Rome

Do I need to be in Rome to join a session?

No. You join from wherever you are; the guide is the one in Rome, live on camera or on the phone.

How long does a session last?

Between 0.8 and 2 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

What language is the session in?

Guides here offer English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese; pick the one you want when you book.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.

Can I ask the guide anything, or is it a fixed script?

Anything. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
